Re: Shiloh Treatment Center, Inc.

Dear Ms. Yenne:

You have requested clari?cation regarding the role of DFPS related to Shiloh Residential Treatment
Center, Inc. (Shiloh). The Child Care Licensing (CCL) Division of DFPS issued an initial license to
Shiloh on October 12, 1995. A non-expiring license or full permit was issued to Shiloh on October 12,
1996. The license type for Shiloh is a General Residential Operation; the care type is Residential
Treatment Center with a maximum capacity of 43 children. It is our understanding that Shiloh currently
provides services primarily to the federal government for children with immigration issues. CCL is
responsible for monitoring this facility, including conducting routine minimum standard inspections and
investigations of reports abuse or neglect or reports of minimum standard violations, as is required by the
Human Resources Code for all licensed facilities.

The Child Protective Services (CPS) Division of DFPS currently does not have a contract with Shiloh,
Inc. and has not had one for many years, if ever. (We have no record of having a placement contract with

this facility.) DFPS has no intention of contracting or placing any CPS children with Shiloh, Inc. and
staff has been instructed accordingly.

If you need additional information. please do not hesitate to contact me. I can be reached at 512?438~

4119 or at 

Sincerely,

Anne Heiligenstein
